The 48th Artillery Regiment "Taro" (Italian: 48° Reggimento Artiglieria "Taro") is an inactive field artillery regiment of the Italian Army, which was based in L'Aquila in Abruzzo.

The division and its regiments were disbanded in the South of France by German forces after the announcement of the Armistice of Cassibile on 8 September 1943.

[1] The unit was reformed in 1975 as 48th Field Artillery Group "Taro" and assigned to the Motorized Brigade "Acqui".

During the Eleventh Battle of the Isonzo the regiment fought on the Banjšice Plateau.

In June 1918 the regiment was arrayed on the Montello for the Second Battle of the Piave River.

During the decisive Battle of Vittorio Veneto the regiment was once again deployed on the Montello.

The same month the division was shipped to Albania to reinforce the crumbling Italian front in the Greco-Italian War.

In December 1940 the division entered the front and until March 1941 it defended its positions against repeated Greek attacks.

After the announcement of the Armistice of Cassibile between Italy and the Allies the division was disbanded by German forces.

[1][2] On 12 November 1976 the President of the Italian Republic Giovanni Leone assigned with decree 846 the flag and traditions of the 48th Artillery Regiment "Taro" to the group.

In 1992 the 48th Field Artillery Group "Taro" received M109G 155 mm self-propelled howitzers and on 1 December of that year the group lost its autonomy and entered the next day the 48th Self-propelled Field Artillery Regiment "Taro".
